Hi Tal

How’s NYE prep going?

Prepping for the actual year is going well, tonight - well, it'll be a quiet one for me. Sofa, film, hubby, and then bed, I reckon. We've done NY in lots of different ways over the years but as I get older, it's much more take-or-leave now.

How about yourself?

*Goes and collapses on the sofa.*

The meds are working!

Woohoo! I think I might treat myself to a couple of slices of toast, and a pomegranate green tea now

 

[iLackBrainCells]

Right, I'm going to disappear before I fall asleep.

I hope everyone has a very happy evening and an amazing start to 2018.

Tal Speak to you later

Have no fear, reinforcements are on their way!
Happy New Year!

ID love to know what thats from???

 

[Mindfondler]

Ha! My husband also conveniently forgets that our life-styles don't actually support such a way of living. It would only be used a meagre handful of times a year. Totally not financially viable. I would love to see our financial adviser's face if he brought it up, though

So that's how the stupid Scooby Doo gang advert for Halifax makes sense! They're seeking a loan to purchase a new "Mystery Machine" and they're proposing a business plan based on covering 30 haunted houses, 20 ghost trains and 15 abandoned mines every year.

THAT is the funniest thing I've seen in ages! Thank you! Yes, it belongs here

Happy New Year

It's from a Bollywood film called Bahubali 2.

I really dislike those adverts lol. I also dislike adverts that encourage older people to basically sell their mortgage-free homes so that they can release a fraction of the equity for holidays, cars, and helping their grandkids. In fact, I have issues with a lot of adverts. But I'll shut up now

Watch many Bollywood films, do you?

 

[iLackBrainCells]

Watch many Bollywood films, do you?

Oh yes. At least two a week. I'm also big into doing the dance moves along to the film - it gets me funny looks in the cinema.

**All of the above MAY be lies.**

 

[hotoldrguy]

Well, I thought it was time I got a place of my own! After all, being a big gobshite, I should really have a dedicated thread where I can ramble on and on to my stone heart's content.

Everyone is welcome, new friends and old. If you know me, then you might suspect how I can banter. If you don’t know me yet… I hold no responsibility for what might be said or done to you in this unsafe space.

So, here I go.

Close your eyes, and press the button, Tal. I'm sure Brainy will be along in a moment...

WHOA! I take a LIT break and come back to find you have your on thread! bout time!

Ha! I know it's not lies at all. So fucking cultured.

Ha! I know, right? It's like the world went crazy!

So pleased to see you again

My biggest personal dislike is the one that shows a guy representing a "no win, no fee" law firm speaking to camera, being patronising and verbally abusive to his potential clients: "What do you mean, you haven't sought compensation for your PPI payments? You're a lazy fucking idiot!" (or something close to that). I guess at least they're showing their true colours up front.

Sadly I am as cultured as a pork chop.

Apologies if I stole HBergeron's thunder but I've seen that GIF before.

Lol, yeah. I just dislike the way that any adverts re: money seem to advocate using debt to go on holiday - as though a holiday is a right. It's not. It's a luxury. Everyone has a right to fair work/life balance, but that's it. So many things that people honestly believe they're entitled to.

Stop ranting Tal!!! FFS

I find many of the car ads offensive. One is about someone doing a Black Friday sale and getting a deal and the neighbor says oh I saved more and got an SUV..that's right everyone wants to make their neighbor look stupid!

WTF? A work ethic... on LIT? Will wonders never cease... (oh, BTW, I love it)

Lol, exactly. It's all about keeping up with the Joneses, sadly many, many people fall for it.

Do you know that I've actually been criticised because my boys don't own an ipad each to themselves? We have one tablet that they take turns on during Tech Time. Not because we can't afford it, but because I believe that kids shouldn't be plugged in just cos they can be. Taking turns, and learning patience is actually important.

I know. This is very heavy stuff, when I'm talking about my boobies on another thread. See, dudes? Multi-tasking.

Well, I didn't mean for you to start bragging about your 'heavy boobies'... but I'm willing to look into it!! (...sorry )
